Article VI of the Unites States constitution states: "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."
The First Amendment states: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof ...."
That's just two examples of separation of church and state in the U.S. Constitution. If you don't live in the United States this will be irrelevant to you.
As for specific people, Thomas Jefferson and John Locke both wrote on multiple occasions, voicing their support for a wholly secular government.

∙ 10y agoFour words on all coins and money- Not Mr. Key"s motto, by the way- The United States of America- its in the First amendment- basic stuff. It should be noted many European countries, even in modern times had state operation of ( naturally) the so-called established church. This took wide variations- In Denmark, the State Lutheran church ran and continues to operate Bank/Loan centers catering mainly to farmers ( imagine leasing a tractor in the US via the Salvation Army!) In Czarist Russia the RO church was a government department akin to the Army, then IKGB, Mint, or Post office! and clergymen were Govt employees- like a certain pesky irregular (monk) who got himself court-chaplain status. abuses were and are common.

Does running a pre k program within a church fall under the separation of church and state?
This has been answered many times by the courts: Church Schools that receive no state (government; state or federal) funding do not violate the separation of church and state. Further, no classes held in a church (that do receive government funding) violate the separation clause as long as the 'church' and its religious edict (teachings) is left out of the curriculum.
